There is a lot of “Labor” in parenting. And, a lot of opportunity for great memories as well – so make some this Labor Day Weekend!

Here are my top 5 picks for Family Fun in Santa Clarita this weekend:

Operation Art: Minecraft Edition

Kids love Minecraft like adults love watching reality shows. But why not make their Minecraft experience a little more 3D by taking them to Operation Art: Minecraft Edition at the Old Town Newhall Library.

You can kick off the holiday weekend by heading to the library’s community room on Friday, September 4th from 3:30 to 5pm for a free art adventure. Kids 9 and up can construct the world they love so much in the video game by using recycled materials, art supplies and their imaginations.

Adults, it might be fun to attempt this same project with that reality show you love… cardboard roses, anyone?

If you planned on having a “Party, Party” summer, but ended up with a “Snooze, Flip the Channel” one instead, make sure you bump it up with these family fun parties in Santa Clarita!

Here are my top 5 picks for Family Fun in Santa Clarita this weekend:

Block Party

Kick off your shoes and enjoy a Block Party that will be the highlight of the season. The Valencia United Methodist Church is holding the festivities on Sunday, August 30th from 4:30-7:30 pm at their church.

Music, Waterslide, Scavenger Hunt, Food, and a Rock Climbing Wall are all part of the free fun and you can get the details on their website.

These party animals are so hip they even have a hashtag: #hereforgood. As we all know, hashtag=FUN!

Fall is almost upon us, as you can tell by the slightly less hot weather and slightly shorter days… But it’s not too late in the season to enjoy all sorts of fun outdoor Santa Clarita activities with your kids.

Here are my top 5 picks for Family Fun in Santa Clarita this weekend:

Hurricane Harbor

Beating the heat and having fun is super easy, just head over to Hurricane Harbor!

I took my kids recently on one of the hottest days of the summer, and it was still a totally amazing experience. There are plenty of ways to keep cool in the park besides just hitting the slides, like the water feature sections, misting stations, and the occasional overhead splash from an enthusiastic slider. And, of course, the rides are splashy fun for all ages. They are open daily through the end of the month, then weekends only in September, so make sure you go for it and enjoy the coolest of water parks. Visit their website for hours and ticket prices.

The kids are back in school this week, and most parents are feeling a bizarre combo of sadness and elation. But remember, you still have the weekends to play together with your family. So make them count!

Here are my top 5 picks for Family Fun in Santa Clarita this weekend:

Maternity and Baby Show

When you are pregnant or have a baby, it can get really overwhelming knowing what products and services are out there. So why not go to the Maternity and Baby Show to get all the info you can?

It’s Saturday, August 16th, from 10 am to 4 pm at the Hyatt Regency Valencia. It’s free parking and admission, and there will be tons of drawings, vendors, and demonstrations to get you some really great information. Visit their website for details.

You will leave feeling much less overwhelmed, I promise. In fact, you may just be…whelmed.

Slowly but surely the summer is coming to an end. So take advantage of the sunny days you have left to spend time doing something fun with your kids.

Dive-In Movie “Fire and Rescue”

There is no way around it, this summer is HOT! So take advantage of the cool Dive-In Movie Event and “chill out.”

The Santa Clarita Aquatics Center is presenting the movie Planes: Fire & Rescue on Friday, August 7th, at 7pm. You can bring the whole family to enjoy the movie on the big screen while you float in the pool or lounge on the deck. Tickets are $10 per person, and remember to bring your own inflatable to lounge appropriately. Visit their website for details.
